Rules and Explanations
Rules: (1) Only use the one Pokémon in Battle, others for HMs are fine. (2) No Items in battle (3) No Glitches* (4) Set Mode (5) No saving in the Elite Four (6) No evasion moves
Badge Boost "Glitch" Explanation: When you collect odd numbered badges the game boosts a stat by 12.5%. Brock gives ATK, Surge DEF, Koga SPE, and Blaine SPC (in game text is wrong). When any of your stats are modified (even by you using a move like Withdraw, or your opponent using Leer) the badge boosts are re-applied. So If you use Swords Dance, you also gain *an additional 12.5% in Speed/Defence/Special (on top of the 12.5% you were supposed to be getting). When you level up, the game corrects this error, and only the non-glitch 12.5% remains. Because of how difficult it is to avoid, I've allowed for it to be exploited, since opponents will spam Leer/Growl anyways, and this way battles are less random. Red/Blue are extremely buggy, so there's always going to be some glitches present, and because of how unavoidable this one is, it is allowed in runs, and considered more like a special Generation 1 mechanic as opposed to a glitch.

I feel like Kadabra should be the final Red and Blue run, where rather than a regular challenge, you walk us through your video making process, the research you do, the potential choke points and their roundabouts, then your recording, editing and narrating.
Cool idea, let's push this guys!
How do I upvote this 10,000 more times?
God damn I'm going to be so sad when he makes it to the last pokemon, this would be a really cool way to end the series
Didn't he already do a Gen 1 Kadabra run? Coulda sworn he did.
He also has to sing the Pokemon theme song for the last video
Jrose, fighting against the champion for the first time: "I think we got this!"
Narrator: "Unfortunately for our hero, there were 8 minutes left in the video."
The funny thing is, JRose has talked about artificially extending the video to prevent spoilers (and I have seen that done before!!).
I've seen channels put a random amount of black screen at the end of videos, sometimes you get a long video with a short end screen, sometimes a shorter video with a 30 minute end screen.
Unfortunately it may hurt the video in the algorithm
😂
"weird how this challenge ended with eight straight minutes of JRose dabbing"
It's like when the heroes/main anime showw theme comes on as a villain is winning.
You just hear the Knuckle "Oh No" in your head repeat on loop
Pinsir's biggest advantage over Scyther in Red/Blue has to be its backsprite.
The fact that the Focus Energy glitch is actually useful since crits ignore Stat boosts is the most Gen 1 thing ever.
Does crits still ignore boosts or it's just on g1?
@@owoberon4947 only g1
@@owoberon4947 They still ignore the opponent's defense boosts, but don't ignore the user's attack boosts anymore.
@@owoberon4947 they know ignore any dmg reducing boosts instead of g1 where they ignore all boosts.
You need to use a move that raises the chance of a crit in order to reduce the chances of a crit, so that you can inflict more damage cuz crits do less than regular hits. That's kinda weird 🤣
His commitment to explain the badge boost glitch is legendary
This is getting to "What does Pot of Greed do" levels and i'm absolutely here for it
He probably explains it in his dreams at this point
Jrose11 uses Sleep Talk!
"The Badge Boost Glitch means the badge boost is reapplied every time the stats are modified and it's reset on levelling up"
It's super effective knowledge!
A new Jrose video? Sure I can stop whatever I’m doing and spend 38 minutes on this new masterpiece
Always the same for me
Truth
Was about to go to bed... Nope!
Facts
Same though
"We got this guys! We just need not terrible critical hit luck and we will first try the Elite Four!"
*Glances at time stamp (**28:42**)*
*Sees length of video (**37:47**)*
Survey says, things did not go as planned!
This is why I avoid looking at the timer as much as possible. Timer is just a big ole spoiler.
Kind of a Spoiled by the Format moment ain't it? lmao
He used up all his good luck with that quadruple Guillotine success!
I love how with every Jrose video the color palette is always the color of the challenge pokemon.
Yeah, that's what makes the presentation in his vids so much better.
Never noticed till now but I appreciate the extra effort he puts into the video
I love the evolution of this series. It started out with the Magikarp solo run, then turned into you trying to beat the game with every unevolved Pokemon, then you tried it with the legendaries, then fully evolved Pokemon, and now you're planning to beat the game with every single Pokemon. What a king
Jrose has been one of my favorite CZcamsrs for years now and he will ascend to legend status when he completes his Gen1 conquest.
But did you take the helix fossil or dome fossil.
Inquiry minds want to know
16:44, Tangela appears in the sea, probably a good example of the Cinnabar Island coast glitch using grass tiles :)
Speaking of weird gen 1 RNG...
On one of my playthroughs I traded myself a level 70 Cloyster to go through the game, but since I didn't have the right badges to control him he _should've_ been hard to control. I found out that, for some odd, inexplicable reason, I could make him attack successfully every turn so long as I did his moves in order. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, back to 1st, etc. If I deviated at all during the battle he'd start to be unreliable as intended, and I'd have to reload the save to get back his flawed obedience.
Sounds like you could make him permanently obedient by using Select to reposition the move you need to the needed slot every time.
Huh. That's really weird. Nice discovery tho
Somebody has to test this for science
@@AelfricBlack I personally don't need to see this replicated. Any other game? Yes. But with how much Gen1 content I have consumed, I believe this whole heartedly.
@@Xpwnxage don’t get me wrong I do believe it I just think it would be neat to see in action and maybe figure out how yet another bug works
16:43 See, I knew you can find tangela on the route under pallet town. What I DIDNT know was that you can find them in the water as well
Same. I suppose it's like finding sea weed?
I looked at bulbapedia. seems like this is not documented there. or it´s just a weird glitch?
@@FlatEarthCEO maybe. I'm not finding any info on the glitch either lol
@@kaz9687 someone mentioned the cinnebar island encounter glitch. maybe thats it
@@FlatEarthCEO That glitch only applies to the coastline of cinnabar island, not the coastline of pallet town. Unless they forgot to program encounters on the pallet town coast as well?? Thats undocumented though afaik
16:40 You can surf into a tangela encounter? Gen 1 never disappoints.
Same reason you can fight Safari Zone Pokémon on the east coasts of Cinnabar and Seafoam. That particular type of tile is accidentally coded in as a grass tile. It’s just that since that route has grass encounters normally, that’s what’s in the grass encounter table instead of the previous area you flew from, or even the Old Man Glitch.
11:43 "Look at what would happen if I just went for Guillotine"
_lands Guillotine 4 times in a row_ (that had a 0.81% chance of happening btw)
I think some gen 1 calcs might be in play
Isn't it more like 1/81 chance ? Which makes around 1,25%
@@ProductionsLukas 0.3^4.
@@ProductionsLukas it's 30% not 1 over 3 those extra 3% really stack and make it slightly under 1%
...it looks like we get the French Revolution.
I always loved Pinsir's design. It's a shame it was so hard to find and catch in gen 1.
Easiest way I always had catching Pinsir and Chansey in Gen 1 was to go to an area in Safari Zone that had both, then surf along the east coast of Cinnabar so I could catch them "in the wild" lol
@@Nick_Slavik yeah very popular glitch
@@Nick_Slavik I know of that glitch. I actually used it a few times. I wanted to catch Pinsir legitimately in the Safari Zone. It's a point of personal pride to do it that way.
@@davidbenjamin8265 I've caught them legit too, I just liked it easier that way lol
Pinsir is one of the coolest mons in Gen 1. Great stat distribution, great design, even good typing. It's such a shame that its moveset sucks.
I love the videos, they've actually really helped with depression and it always makes my day when I see a new upload. thanks for making great content!
same, this upload had perfect timing
Same here...
Same. The predictable structure of his vids really helps them feel comforting.
13:00
Jrose wins due to 1/125 Guillotione hits -> Reset
Jrose wins due to 1/256 Miss -> no Reset
The logic of this man is beyond any of us 😅🤣
Yeah he’s never consistent about “luck”. He never has an issue with lucky crits or 5-7 sleep turns.
I actually did the math, Jrose was WAY off on the 4 Guillotine hits in a row. It's not a 1/125 chance. It's an 81/10,000 chance.
@@gmsloep sad part is most people won't even get it 😅
@@gmsloep Well, It´s a difference of 1/10000, so not WAY off. I think he just rounded up. I do trust him to get 0.3 ^ 4 right :D
@@gmsloep He wasn't way off at all Those are basically the same. 1/125 = 0.8% chance, 81/10000 = 0.81% chance. He used 1/125 since that's a lot easier to understand.
"How many Pokémon can you solo speedrun with?"
Jrose: Yes
jrose will somehow manage to solo rby with 152 pokemon
@@kylieschuttloffel1261 i think missingno might be impossible. it has 0 defense.
@@waterierStone someone actually done it
JRose: I'm gonna use Swords Dance
Blaine, knowing what move you're going to use, even before it's revealed: Ah yes, I'm going to heal
JRose: Alright? I'll do it again?
Blaine: come here my precious Growlithe, let me heal your wounds
Just when I was getting used to consistent uploading he’s gone again :,(
He's the best CZcamsr on the platform. But he randomly takes breaks that can last months. It's a shame, but I guess it's what he needs to refuel the tank.
Been waiting a LONG time for this one, easily my favorite Pokemon
Awesome ^^
Same here.
JRose: As a demonstration, look what will happen if I use Guillotine, it is too unreliable as a proper strategy for my runs
*proceeds to sweep the entire gym leader with Guillotine
Lmao was at exactly this point in the video when I read your comment
Come oooooon jrose I am going crazy checking this channel for a new video 😂😂😂
Yo, I know Jrose is cool, but big ups for SimplyAJ with that high quality editing. Keep up the good work, guys!
Seriously, _huge_ props to the editor.
I'll admit I've always liked Pinsir despite never having used one. It doesn't help that in early gens it gets no good Bug moves, and Heracross often exists alongside it in the games you can catch it in and I always prefer using Heracross.
Still I do have to say it did a good showing. Better bulk and slightly better movepool IMO helped a lot vs Scyther.
This was absolutely an ABSURD run! 4 guillotines in a row, 4 crits in a row, living on 1 hp, this one had it all!
Yea, even without guillotine, Pinsir is still a powerful monster and its defense stat is very high.
Has anyone else been anticipating a new Jrose video for the past week?
Uh oh. The guy has a history of disappearing for months at a time. Here's to hoping he doesn't.
This is the most unique palette yet, looks like an old movie.
*Gets 5 Guillotines* : shit I should reset
*Gets 4 crits a paralysis and immobilised* : shit it was half as likely!
Oho! Didn't expect this so soon! Let's see how the oversized nail cutter does.
Those guillotine hits were insane. makes me wonder what a gulliotine only run would look like
Accuracy X breaks the move. In Gen 1 only, Accuracy X makes so that all moves bypass accuracy checks. That means that as long as you are faster than your opponent, you can OHKO any Pokémon first try.
@@rordongamsay8478 he doesn't use itens tho. Especially if an item makes a questionable run into arguably a better than average run since you sorta do a equivalent thing to swords dance into move but you always ohko. On the other hand, it is just rng
@@Dragostorm21 Yeah, I know he doesn't use items. I was just saying. A OHKO-move only run doesn't have to be only one pokémon tho. Even if it's luck-based, you may still use Pinsir, Rhydon and Kingler for example, taking Pinsir into Earthquakes, Rhydon into Normal-type attacks, and Kingler into Water-type attacks for example, to maximize the amount of hits you take before running out of HP. And PP wouldn't be a problem that way, or at least not that much.
@@rordongamsay8478 Still a pretty big RNG fest, but that is more manageable.
Although Rhydon would kinda suck for that because of how slow it is, and in Gen 1, OHKO moves only work if you out speed the opponent. And if you're only using OHKO moves, then I would assume that also means no Thunder Wave or String Shot or anything.
You'd still need another move for ghost types, like fissure.
Btw, Accuracy X effect is the same in Gen II core games afaik.
Since you had to use Farfetch'd as an hm slave, I say you take it as a sign to do a run with Farfetch'd. It has stats slightly worse than charmeleon, and a fairly eh typing, but it DOES have all of swords dance, agility, slash, body slam and fly.
Swords Dance makes the game much easier, honestly, but even with that, it still needs a bit of bulk to set up.
Would Farfetch'd have enough?
@@MicaelAlighieri given each swords dance and agility boosts its defense and eventually special... probably?
Hope you're just on vacation! I love your videos and they bring me a lot of happiness
I predict that Venomoth will have the easier time at the elite 4 but Butterfree will have an easier time getting the 8 badges. Butterfree learns sleep powder super early but venomoths typing will screw with Lorelei and Lance's AI making those fights more consistent
Your challenges are always a blast to listen to, keep it up!
15:44 Wild Tangelas while surfing. Gen 1 is surely a thing.
I always appreciate that you show the game credits at the end. The people that worked on the game deserve recognition.
Pinsir is one of my favorite gen 1 pokemon. When I played Let's Go Eevee for the nostalgia it gave me a shiny purple pinsir with a bad nature and IVs, and even so I took that thing to the elite four and wrecked everything in sight.
I have sleeping problems and i can't thank you enough. One day i came across your challenges and started to binge. Eventually i fell asleep. Next day i continued watching your videos till i physically can't stay awake anymore (of course i watched tons of other stuff before your content.)Now i essentially trained myself to fall asleep with your voice so whenever i can't sleep, i watch one or two Jrose11 video and bam. I'm asleep before elite for. Thank you.
This video gets the OG Bug Catcher’s stamp of approval! 👍
Awesome run Jrose, clutch victory at the end. I literally cheered at the end when you won!
Hey Jrose! Wherever you are, and whatever you do, I hope you are well. I always look forward to your videos and I visit your channel daily. Take your time, and rest assured that your community supports you.
this is why Pinsir is Heracross's Rival instead of syther's
Hey JRose, I hope you’re doing well. I look forward to your videos coming out and it has been over two weeks. I hope you’re taking extra time for creative ideas and such but if things aren’t well your audience is here for you!!!!! We love you and your content!!!
I definitely have a jrose shaped hole in my heart, but I honestly expected this to end up happening, no sane person can play as much Pokémon as he does and not take a break every once in a while. It’s fine though I’ll just rewatch his old vids until he comes back
I appreciate the change to 'how fast can you beat' instead of 'can you'. The reason I didn't start watching these videos for a long time was because I always knew yes, you can beat it with either wild luck or tons of grinding, and that's not interesting. I feel like the point of these isn't whether it's possible (most of the time) so I think this will generate much more interest for new viewers
It's been his naming convention for a lil bit to do "How Fast" for stronger/fully-evolved mons and "Can You" or "Is it Possible" for weaker/first-form mons. But yeah, even the "Can you" are all "yes" because he doesn't post videos of playing with caterpie and getting walled at Lavender Tower, for example.
@@FranzPerez21 It's always possible outside of the bugs and Magikarp, if for no other reason than the Gen I AI will eventually, if you're willing to commit the hours to several hundred attempts, simply gift you a win.
He’s been using that title for a long time already. It’s not a recent change.
I never said it was new. I'm just saying I appreciate it, chill y'all
Jrose! Are you ok!? It's been so long and I'm worried Lt. Surge is getting promoted! I hope you and your pokemon are alright! ❤
Can’t believe this series has been going on for 2 years
I've been watching a lot of these runs for a while now. While they follow the same path, they're always exciting and different from each other. Great video!
Man really went up against something that already died once and went “Time to recreate the French Revolution” lol.
Oh yeah, it's time to pinsir it up!
Pinsir is an underrated beast of gen1, let's see how it does!
Every time I see a new JRose play through, I always think I don’t have time to watch it, but click anyway and decide to watch the first 10 minutes or so… then I watch the whole 40 minutes.
Honestly you are the best part of my day when you upload, thanks for the awesome videos!!
Your videos are my favorite sleep time videos lately, thank you :)
16:44 Do all east coast tiles do that? I thought it was only cinnabar island that had the encounter list on the east coast tiles broken. Do all eastccoast tiles in the game use the local grass encounter list?
Yes all cost tiles
No it's a special Grass/Water variant that's a tangled mess of kelp /s
It can happen with the coast of Cinnabar Island, the coast of Seafoam Islands right side, and the area he encounters the Tangela.
Jrose hiatus once again fbm 😔
Jrose, you have the perfect upload schedule, I swear every time I feel like watching a solo Pokémon run, you're right there with an upload 👍
Bug and steel are my 2 favorite types, this one’s going to be good.
i am running dry on jrose content
How did Guillotine work so well against Koga's Pokémon when none of them have necks?
It squished the hell out of them instead.
These videos are total nostalgia from playing Pokémon games on my game boy on every road-trip as a child
Awesome video, Pinsir was surprising in this one. Can't wait for you to do another Hoenn run as those are my favorite!!
Wouldn't mind seeing a vulpix run. Always liked that one.
Despite lacking a Bug-type move or any way to harm Ghosts directly, Pinsir managed to stomp the game very effectively. Swords Dance is just very OP in Gen 1.
Bug type moves were mostly crap in gen 1, the strongest being twineedle and only breedrill can have it, not to mention that the only 3 ghost types in gen 1 were all dual typed ghost/poison, meaning bug type moves were practically useless back then.
@@Bruce_Fernandes Quick correction but Bug moves vs. Gengar/etc. would actually be okay in Gen 1. Poison, for whatever reason, took super-effective damage from Bug, so it would've been hitting neutral vs. Gengar.
@@mr.number9279 right.
Anyway, gen 1 had very few offensive bug type moves and all of them quite weak in base power, not to mention also locked exclusively for certain pokemon that don't shine when it comes to their stats( with the exception of jolteon, that shines in speed and learns pin missile).
This run was pretty amazing to watch! Always a treat when a new JRose video drops
Hey Jrose just wanted to pass along the feedback that this was one of my favorite videos. Very good balance of timing and detailed analysis. Although imo, a bit underrated - other than Brock, Pinsor rolled throught the game. Keep up the great work, enjoy the gen 1 videos
I think it would be nice to see the full tier list but just broken into two columns (kept in order, just the left side being the higher tiers and right side being lower tiers). That way, we can still see the overview more easily, and also it would show up on the video format and aspect ratio easily. To differentiate evolved and non evolving Pokemon from the first forms and such, you could maybe add icons or change the font or font color.
Hey Jrose, dunno if you see these, but hope you're doing ok! Long time no video! We're thinking of you!
I gotta admit, when I saw your Red/Blue single pokemon runs I thought it was a waste of time and id never watch the whole 50 min video.... But I was wrong and ive been addicted to your videos ever sense lol. Just subbed and keep the videos coming :D. They are great!
cant wait to see kabuto/kabutops. found the channel 2 weeks ago, im obsessed lol. for this channel alone i may start liking every video in hopes to see more content. ty for making the videos jrose.
Hey Jrose, loving that you're fully into the middle third of the dex now! As you start to run low on single form and first stage train wrecks are you planning to do any mid-gen pokemon? While if the first stage beats the game it's clear the second will, but it would be interesting to see if any middle stage pokemon can beat their final form or lose to their first stage due to levelup break points, levelup learnsets, or typing working against some evolutions.
Its entirely possible that evolved pokemon with all around better movesets and stats still lose to the first form pokemon simply because they need more exp to lv up. So yes, its absolutly worth doing evolved pokemon to find these surprising pokemon
@@alexanderlong.7234 Mons of the same evolutionary line all share the same exp group. Otherwise we would have weird instances of Pokemon losing levels upon evolution.
Damn.. 3 weeks since this one came out? Been awhile since it has taken you this long. Hope everything is okay.
Made it a month now
I'm going through withdrawals
You do such a great job at reminding to subscribe! Doesn't ever feel tired or drawn out. Reminds me to like the video. Thanks Jrose, you da man!
Omg YESSSSS, I was checking your page all week.
Everything good jrose? You’ve not put a video up in a while and was wondering if your doing okay in this shit world we live in? I’m hoping it’s because your struggling with an impossible run?
The only time OHKO moves are worth it is if you can set their accuracy with a move like Mind Reader to make them not miss on the next turn. In reality this would be super prediction reliant, but in game, its pretty fun since the AI almost never switch. Only the Poliwrath line and Articuno are able to pull this off, which makes it fairly unique. I also like how Poliwrath can learn Hypnosis and Dynamic Punch, so you can go all in on the Mind Reader even if Focus Punch is probably the better option when its available
i'm fairly certain early (maybe still?) speedruns of gen 1 used nidoking with horn drill and x accuracies. granted that is using items, but...
And Smeargle
@@Seraphic_Radiance you’re correct. It’s one of the easiest trainer ID based glitched encounters to get. Then x acc + horn drill is just a sweep.
@@Seraphic_Radiance That is actually correct. Gen 1 is the only generation where the accuracy of OHKO moves can be buffed in the typical way. After gen 1, OHKO moves accuracy uses a formula based on the Pokemon's level that is entirely independent of accuracy boosts
I'd like to mention, I love how consistent you kept the thumbnails. I recently noticed on a different channel I like that they don't, so I often miss out on vids because I don't know it's part of the series I like. With you, it's clean, consistent and very clear what's going on. Might be usefull eventually to make a noticeable addition to signify the generation, once you have done all pokemon in Red (twice ofcourse, optimal strats, you could easily do the starters much faster knowing what you know now)
Mate, I checked CZcams every day since Sunday to check for this upload! Living in fear of you going into hibernation again. Loving this content.
Yeah great vid bro I thought the3rd and 7th gyms were incredibly interesting. Yes I watched this in 10x like I play my runs. And yes I have the advantage of being subscribed to Jrose 11
Based. I watch the full vid cause I have no life
16:44 how did you get a Tangela while surfing? Some Gen I jank?
Great video, I always loved Scyther more than Pinser, never realized how good he was back then but I have had a good time with Pinser in later games, nice to see how this went.
as I watch these videos, I always wonder why you do things you do... but after watching so many. I start to understand why. because you explain things here and there. but not overly so, so I'm not berated with them. thanks for great content.
Jrose can we see a duotrio video. It has pretty good speed, drill peck, body slam reflect/mimic and agility. For Brock it has growl and furry attack 🤔 maybe it won't be so bad ?
Im curious how a regigigas run would go despite being a legendary it has an achilles heel ability.
Even as horrible as it is in competitive, it still has pretty good bulk, and even with halved Attack for 5 turns, Regigigas has such high base Attack that for a solo playthrough, it shouldn't be _that_ big of a deal. Plus, for a longer battles, Slow Start will eventually wear off, after which Regigigas will be a monster.
Regigigas won't be hard but it would take time
NO WAY, i was in withdrawal so I was rewatching the gold/silver minimum battles and then this vid pops up lets gooo
Thanks, just in time, love your videos to wind down for the night
I much prefer Scyther to Pinsir but in this gen it's clear which is the better mon. Things might have been different if Pokémon actually got decent movesets in gen I
You guys know that pi trainer in DPP that has a goldeen with horn drill? Well once in Platinum, it hit 5 TIMES in a row and swept my whole team!
That trainer class is called the Gambler in Japan, and was localized to PI because the ESRB was very skittish about any mention of gambling. So it seems this Gambler won the lottery.
YES! New JRose video! Thanks a bunch, that was a great watch as always!
Hope you're doing fine man, really love your videos and challenges with Pokemon! I'll see you when you come back!
Dying slowly of no Jrose11 post. Painful. Please help
Ikr, he must be busy
I am really really enjoying your videos. And I watch them instantly, when I see you upload one. But I got one minor criticism. I already know, you will use rather mimic, Substitute or both and it takes some of the tension, because you already know from the beginning, how you will win agains Elite 4. it would be awesome, if you upgrade your challenge by not using Mimic oder substitute or only if it’s the last opportunity.
I love You Jrose11
Sorry for bad English. I am from Germany
Deine Englisch is sehr gut. Sie brauchen sich nicht zu rechtfertigen. Aber meine Deutsch is schlecht. Ich hoffe dich verstehen.
Mir scheint es, dass sie den Zweck dieser Video Reihe nicht verstanden haben.
Jrose11s goal is to rank each and every one of the 151 pokemon based on their viability in pokemon red/blue.
Damit das Ranking so objektiv wie möglich ist, müssen ALLE der jeweiligen Spezies zur verfügung stehenden Mittel genutzt werden.
Which include mimic and substitute.
Welche nun mal einer der einfachsten und konsistenttesten Wege sind die Agathe Lotterie zu umgehen.
Thus you should understand why he uses them every time, they just are that good.
Zuletzt möchte ich sagen, dass der eigentliche Zweck dieser Videoreihe ist: Jros11s Neugierde zu befriedigen und deine Unterhaltung zweitrangig ist, da es wie bereits erwähnt um den Spaß des Produzenten geht.
Unfortunately due to how Gen 1 it's rather hard to add any real variety. Besides if Mimic was banned pokemon like Scyther wouldn't have beaten this challenge.
Assuming Jrose continues these for Gen 2 and further we may see more variety there although I still expect some similar patterns to emerge.
P. S. besides using German "oder" in one spot your english was alright.
tldr.
you want to chamge the ruleset of a challenge for your amusement, not taking into account the overall goal of the creator.
Schönen Abend noch.
I really want the catch em all videos to continue through gen 5, gen 6 etc. They are nice and educational and much appreciated!
great vid jrose! love the pacing and commentary
(11:45) Wow, that's about a 0.81% (1/123) chance to land Guillotine four times in a row!
(12:40) LOL, Gen. 1 miss FTW.
(12:57) Okay, relying on just one Guillotine hit instead of getting four in a row is fairer.
(17:00) Yep, this game is crazy. Odds of four consutive critical hits from Pinsir is about 0.0007596% (1/1316). (Although, to be fair, the attack that finished off the crippled Rapidash wasn't a crit.)
(28:24) "I think we've got this." But, I notice there's still 9 minutes left of the video, so...
(29:58) Yep, I saw that coming. Darned critical hit at the worst time, as expected.
(34:40) 1 HP and a dream!
(36:18) This time, no untimely crit on Charizard, and that's game!
(36:41) Yeah, it won't be long before we need a microscope to read the text, especially as you approach 151 entries.
(37:38) Except Caterpie, Metapod, and Magikarp, who absolutely cannot beat the game solo, because they have no way of hitting ghosts at all. (Also, Weedle and Kakuna are just so bad they surely won't be able to get past certain fights like Agatha without heavy item spam in battle.)
Wait, how fast can you beat the game if you only know one hit KO moves...
Enjoying a holiday in Brazil with your video man
Just in time, I needed some sleep! Love relaxing to these vids.
Here's a challenge: Try to use Kinesis during a run. Good luck, as it's not learned by any Pokémon in Red and Blue and it can only be called by Metronome. Kadabra learns it in Yellow though.
It's a move from the abra/kadabra/alakazam line(it was in his top worst moves video)
@@dynastystar5515 you can only get it by catching a wild Kadabra in Yellow
Why did they even bother making Bug a type in Gen 1 if they were only gonna have 3 moves, one of which is found only on Beedrill, and Jolteon of all Pokemon, and another of which is unique to Beedrill?
Wouldn't be bad if beedrill was functional
Because it was suppose to be an early type Pokemon. Thats why they evolved quick, they have low stats and you have the earliest status move (Weedle).
